Seat belt on drivers side will not retract. I'm a disabled person, and husband has been deployed for a year or more, and also have a 6 year old that I have to take care of. When this happened I had visited my husband where he's on standby waiting to go over seas, he had to tie my seatbelt in a knot to get it tight so it would not get in the way while driving or get caught in the door and so on and so forth. Is there anyway that your company can help me get this fixed. Money is tight and I don't have the money to fix it, and can't be without a car for a lengthy period of time. I don't know where else to turn. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
